McDonald's Kid's Menu - GoGurt and Fries?

Published: 14 September 2014

This seemed a bit strange to me. In the menu below, you will notice that there are a few side item options for McDonald's kids meals. Fine. But I was under the impression that you were given a choice between fries and fruit or other "healthy" alternatives. Look more closely.

Pick A Favorite includes an entree AND fries. Then you Pick A Side, which adds GoGurt or apple slices. Then you Pick A Drink. Whoa. Are fries really necessary ON TOP OF another side? Is it just me, or didn't you have to choose between fries and apple slices in the past?
